I have visited this restaurant many times in the past, but I will not be returning after my experience on a Friday at 5pm. It seemed like I was served leftover fish from the previous night, with a hard batter, minimal fish, and even cold peas. The meal was very unpleasant.

The fish was small, the batter was hard, and the chips were cold. The peas and curry sauce were also cold. I have dined here before, but I will not be returning. I feel like I wasted £13.

Really nice chippy with the option to eat in too. Decent value for the portions you get. They've got a few branches dotted about the north east and you always know you're gonna get hot and filling food.

This is one of the best fish shops I know of with beautiful Cod and chips and good prices. There are fried fresh and offer the old scratchings which is now becoming a rareity. There is a seating area attached for a small cost offering bread and butter alongside the meal. Whenever we visit Shildon we go to Clems it is a must place to eat when in this small town of Shildon, you just can’t come and go without a Clems meal.
